please choose one passage from the novel that is significant to you. why is this passage meaningful? please type it into one of your entries and comment on what you think about the passage
"I was choosing a place," said Jack. "I was just waiting for a moment to decide where to stab him."
"You should stick a pig," said Ralph fiercely. "They always talk about sticking a pig."
"You cut a pig's throat to let the blood out," said Jack, "otherwise you can't eat the meat."
"Why didn't you - ?"
They knew very well why he hadn't: because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood.
This passage was the passage that was most significant to me. This was not because it was memorable or beautiful, it was because it was very shocking. If you read this passage, as you see, Jack did not have any feeling towards killing a living creature. He just didn't feel anything and he was willing to kill it without any difficulties. I can't believe that human can do such a bad thing to living creatures. This passage described the situation so well that you can see what is going to happen and it is kind of sick to see what they were talking about. It was disgusting to imagine cutting into living flesh and see the unbearable blood. Author did a great job on describing it and allowing the readers to imagine the picture of it. Because it was so cruel and violent, it was significant to me.
